FAQ
Q: Is my data secure?
Yes! All XML to JSON conversion happens entirely in your browser using client-side JavaScript. Your data never leaves your device and is not sent to any server.

XML attributes are converted to JSON properties. For example, <user id="123"> becomes {"user": {"_attributes": {"id": "123"}}}. Element text content is typically stored in a _text property.

Yes! The converter can handle XML files up to several megabytes. For optimal performance, we recommend files under 5MB.

The converter will detect and report XML syntax errors, showing you the error message and helping you identify the problem in your XML document.
